Description
The Common Core demands that we, as educators, ensure students are learning complex acquisition, communication, and application of rigorous content. By starting with common, simple, shared tasks, teachers can delve into the Common Core standards secure in the knowledge that their initial efforts are aligned with the final outcome driven by Common Core – Increased learning and preparation for college and careers.
In the Common Core for Excellence series, the complexities of being successful with the Common Core standards are broken down into feasible and manageable components.
In Book 1 we work with Designing Performance Tasks. When developed well, Performance tasks emulate situations that require the application of our content. In these tasks, students are learning and using their learning all while being assessed in multiple ways for everything from knowledge and skills to their abilities to communicate, apply and learn both independently and cooperatively.
In Book 2, the series continues with developing an understanding of assessment and in particular a few tools we need to be successful as we shift to the integration of performance tasks. Performance checkpoint and rubrics are two tools that are effective in our assessment practices.
In addition, the series provides the following:
• Easy-to-use organizers and templates
• Examples of rubrics, performances, tasks and assessments
• Procedures for scoring performances
• Step-by-Step guides for developing performance tasks and rubrics
